Distributed computing is increasingly important at a time when the doubling of the number of transistors on a processor every 18 months no longer translates in a doubling of speed ...
Abstract—A growing number of applications start using Semantic Web technologies. The base concept in this technology is the use of ontologies, allowing first-order logic reasoni...
— Desktop grids use the idle cycles of desktop PC’s to provide huge computational power at low cost. However, because the underlying desktop computing resources are volatile, a...
